Although I grew up in Ilfracombe, Woolacombe is my favourite place along the North Devon coastline. It's where I remember spending the entire 6 weeks summer holidays as a child. It's where I remember being a teenage girl, sun bathing & boy chasing with my two of my best friends Kelly & Jem. It's where I remember spending long summers nights at the Red Barn & the Marisco with my other best friend Caz, before either hitching a ride home with some locals or spending the night sleeping in her car. Woolacombe beach was the place that the mister chose to propose to me way back in 2003 - man alive, that was 9 years ago!!
Anyway, scooting over that last part where I realise i'm hurtling towards 33 at break-neck-speed *le sigh*, Woolacombe is where it's at for me, and it seems my kiddos love it just as much...
Before we embarked on the long ride home we finally got a chance to potter around Ilfracombe & Combe Martin in the sunshine... finally!
it looks beautiful! I must visit one day

I visited North Devon back in June half-term. We camped near Berrynarbor and the weather was horrendous for most of it so we cut our trip short and came home which meant I missed lots of things I had wanted to see. I did manage Ilfracombe and Woolacombe - both of which we loved. Had a lovely breakfast at the cafe by the beach at Woolacombe and have resolved to revisit with our campervan next summer!
ReplyDeleteMy aunty used to live in Berrynarbour - it's such a beautiful little village isn't it! Ooo yes, do go back and re-visit :)
